Coillte Harvesting Rights: Discussion with Irish Timber Council
10:50 am
Mr. Pat Glennon:
To clarify further, there is an approximately 50-50 split between private planting and State planting. Unfortunately, private planting has approximately ten to 15 years to go before it will come to our industry. It is young but the crop is in the ground and growing. It is not yet ready for our type of industry. Mr. Fahy can give a small synopsis of what is happening on Corr na Móna, the type of people there and the downstream industries being affected.
